Microbiology-2460 Lab-003 March 31‚2008 Lab Report-Escherichia coli Abstract The purpose for this lab report was to identify and inform of an unknown bacteria that has been causing a patient to have lower abdominal and pelvic pain. To obtain the identification of this unknown bacterium‚ several biochemical tests needed to be performed in order to prescribe the correct medication to treat and cure the symptoms. Introduction In a lab today‚ I am to identify an unknown bacterium that is

Introduction: The goal of this experiment was to measure the amount of gas produced in various reactions. The Ideal Gas Law was needed in order to calculate the mass of reactants and moles of gas produced: ‚ where is the pressure in atm‚ is the volume in Liters‚ is the number of moles‚ is the ideal gas constant [0.082 (Latm)/(Kmol)]‚ and is the temperature in Kelvins. Considering the units on R‚ it was important to convert pressure‚ volume‚ and temperature to atm‚ L‚ and K‚ respectively. In

Microbiology Laboratory Report Identification of Unknown Bacteria 03/10/05- 04/01/05 Authors: Richard Hendricks‚ Jessica Prebish; NMU Abstract: Broth culture 16 was randomly selected by our group and subjected to qualitative tests for taxonomic identification. The culture did appear homogenous throughout the testing period and is currently retained by Northern Michigan University’s department of Microbiology. We suggest that culture 16 is an example of Escherichia coli. Background: Techniques

Kiley O’Toole Lab Report 3 Purpose The purpose of this lab was to uncover the number of layers of zinc atoms around a piece of galvanized iron. This was done by pouring the hydrochloric acid onto the galvanized iron‚ thus removing the zinc from the piece of metal. Laboratory Procedure 1. Measured and recorded the mass of a piece of galvanized iron using a centigram balance and a ruler 2. Measured and recorded the length and width of the galvanized iron using the ruler 3. Put the

Lab Report: Stoichiometry Lab Oct. 27‚ 2011 Claire Elizabeth Lab Partners: Hannah Signature:___________________ Introduction- Baking soda and vinegar are two common materials found in almost every household. That‚ plus the fact that all the starting and finishing materials are non hazardous and safe‚ is why this is one of the first chemical reactions that many people are exposed to The purpose of this experiment tests which of the two reactants (vinegar and baking soda) is the limited

McLean 1 Creating Acetylene Gas Introduction The purpose of the lab was to determine the ratio of air to acetylene results in complete combustion of acetylene gas. The balanced chemical equation for this experiment was C2H2(g) + O2(g) --> CO2(g)+ H2O(l). Complete combustion is the reaction of an element or compound with oxygen to produce the most common oxides and energy. Complete combustion occurs when the fuel and oxygen combine in exact proportions to completely burn the fuel

Lab Report An enzyme is a protein that speeds up the rates of chemical reactions. They recognize‚ bind‚ and change specific reactants. They do not change so they can catalyze the same reaction again and again. Activation energy is the amount of energy needed in order to begin a chemical reaction. A Catalyst is a substance that increases the rate of a chemical reaction without itself undergoing any permanent chemical change. Catalysts are substances or a substance that configures another substance

CHM1032L pre/post lab instructions Preparation is a key to success in this lab. For this reason‚ you are required to thoroughly read through the experiment information presented in the lab manual‚ and complete a pre-lab for each experiment you do. The prelab must be completed prior to the day of the experiment. Each Friday I will ask to see your completed prelab before I allow you to enter the lab. If you have not finished the pre-lab‚ I will not allow you to enter the lab and you will receive

Lab report is one way we used during of after an experiment in a laboratory to subtly record and discuss the experiment. During a lab‚ we sometimes can observe only the physical part of the experiment‚ or may be some visible chemical changes. These changes indicate that the experiment we do is successful or not. However‚ in order to understand and achieve more from just simply doing the experiment‚ we write lab report to more profoundly understand the internal meanings of the experiment we do‚ and
